WHO IT'S FOR

Operators, OEMs, technology companies and investors, held to one standard.

Thing Company works on every side of an industrial technology purchase, to one evidence standard. How plants buy is what shows whether a vendor's positioning is real.

Questions about who we work with

Who does Thing Company work with?

Operators (manufacturers, process and energy companies, miners, utilities, and logistics and warehouse networks); OEMs adding software, services and outcome pricing to a hardware business; hardware, software, cloud, edge and AI companies and the system integrators that deliver them; and private equity and venture investors. All are held to one evidence standard.

Does Thing Company work for companies that compete with each other?

It may. Each engagement is confidential, and what a client shares and the evidence gathered for them is never used in work for anyone else.

Which page should I start with?

Start with the moment you are in. The three moment pages cover the time before the commitment, an initiative that is not delivering, and the inflection before a rollout.

Not sure which door is yours?

Thirty minutes to find out which moment you are in, and whether a Sprint is the right instrument. It is a call, not a purchase.
